Do you believe that people should settle for someone they may not be entirely interested in when they suffer constant rejection from members of the opposite gender?

No.

There's no substitution for quality.

No I think anyone should just settle.

No. A better question would be to ask yourself if you need someone of the opposite gender bad enough to settle for someone less interesting.

And try to figure out why there is "constant rejection" from others. Perhaps, the person is trying too hard and makes the others uncomfortabel.

If all a person needs is someone to share the bed, or bring home a paycheck, then certainly, settle for whatever you can get and count yourself lucky. I just don't happen to think that, "someone" else is that important.


A lot of people are interesting, but only after you get to know them. They are worth sticking around for.

That's not a yes or no question. Should a person be with someone who is cruel, a cheat or a thief because it's better than being lonely? No. Should a person be realistic that dating a supermodel is highly unlikely and look for more normal people? Yes.

There is no such thing as being entirely interested in anyone. The more you get to know someone, you are bound to find out something about them that you don't like. The trick is for the things you like and are interested in to outweigh those things that would not interest you.

Thsi has been discussed on other threads, but no one is perfect. But if you decide to settle because you can't find anything better, thats not so good.

Hell no, you never just "settle".

Instead of settling I think a person should develop a better self esteem. Why would any one want to settle for anything less than true love?
